Well, training is a little slow going actually. I've been putting in loads and loads of interval training sessions on the treadmill set on a pretty decent incline, but not too much running outside. I just can't get into a long run mentally when I spend the entire time freezing my ass off! I am such a flipping pansy when it comes to cold weather!! For all you guys that ran and actually finished Bandera this year in those conditions........MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU!! I mean, dude, it was freaking cold out there! Anyway, hopefully next weekend will be warmer and I can get in a good long run. I've realized that it really doesn't take much training to just finish a marathon so I should be good. I'm not looking to place or anything, just enjoy the trail since it's so amazing!

Mark,I finished RR in my VFFs! I'll be wearing shoes at CT, though. I'll look for the naked guy. I'm running the 50. Don't make fun of me for going so slow. My goal is 13:59:59. If I can beat that I'll be elated.See you there!Paul

Hey, Chris,I'll be heading to Grasslands for the 50 and then after that.............I'm not sure. I start back to school in March so I'm not sure how much time I'll have.Paul,Considering how damn cold the weather is........you will not find a naked guy at CT! ha I'll be the dude in the parka, probably! Great job running Rocky in the VFF's! I bet that trail felt fantastic underfoot! See ya Saturday!Peace!Mark

About Me

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, a handbottle of water in one hand and a chocolate GU in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, shoes smoking, and you screaming..."WOO HOO, What a Run!!"
